Labyrinth Seal Analysis. Volume 2. User's Manual for the Navier-Stokes Analysis for Labyrinth Seals

摘要

This document is a User's Manual for running a computer code for calculating the flow in labyrinth seals. The computer code has the ability to solve the Navier-Stokes equations for two-dimensional and axisymmetric flow for both orthogonal and non-orthogonal coordinate systems. A description of the code, the strategy for running the code, a detailed description of the input, sample input and sample output are presented. A description of a comparison plot program is also presented. Keywords: Computational fluid mechanics; Leakage flow; Gas turbine engine requirements; Fortran; MINT computer program; PLOT computer program. (Author)
